[edit] Moises salinas

Moises salinas (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Borderline on notability. If the consenseus is keep, the page should be moved to Moises Salinas. BuickCenturyDriver 23:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Notability is very, very week. The Herzl Award is the only thing that would suggest notability, but I hardly think every winner of that is worthy of their own article. Aplomado talk 23:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Israel or Palestine-related deletions. --   ⇒ bsnowball  11:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non notable. Nardman1 15:21, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. In addition to the Herzl Award, Dr. Salinas is the author of over 20 publications, including one award winning book, and a second book that is quickly becoming a major contribution to the field of Israeli-Palestinian peace. Hardly any of the other original Herzl Award winner have such a record. In addition, he is one of only 4 Herzl Award winners in the U.S., and some of the other ones have pages in their respective language (Hebrew, Spanish). AZM-GH
  • Comment. There are several pages about American Zionist leaders from the right. None, however, about American Zionist leaders from the left, progressive affiliation. Do I detect a bias here? Is there a reason why Liberal Zionist are being deleted? Kibbutznik
  • Comment There are many other non-fiction authors with less stellar records. e.g., Thomas Alexander, Biplob Kumar Debnath, James Joll, Neal Lozano, etc. I have looked at Salinas' books, and they seem really noteworthy. Has anybody looked him up? Maybe somebody needs to add more notability items to his stub?
  • Comment. Someone created Moises Salinas as a redirect to the article in question. It's proper to have the article itself on Firstname-Lastname capitalized and the Firstname lastname as a redirect. If this article is deleted, both the article and the redirect will be deleted from the mainspace. BuickCenturyDriver 03:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
  • I have added some information about Dr. Salinas, including some of his other awards (American Education Research Association, Carnegie Academy, Pew Charitable Trust) and some minor edits. Thank you. AZM-GH 15:57, 9 February 2007

  • Comment. I didn't know that an AFD could be extended. Lets see how the cards fall. BuickCenturyDriver 07:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Certainly notable. His 4 books are from respectable academic social science publisher--Sage is a very important one & the other 2 of also reputable. His university does count as a research university,and we have consistently accepted full professors at research universities as notable, because their notability has been verified solidly and reiiably by the peer-review at the university.

I note that I almost missed this one, because the article was not written to give a summary of his major accomplishments as a lede paragraph--and perhaps others did also. I added it. DGG 03:47, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
